12, 26 and 29? (If you're comfortable with that)
Thanks for the ask! Don’t worry I’m somehow far more comfortable talking about things online than I probably have a right to be ^^;
12. Dog person or cat person?
Both, really. I used to favour dogs, but ever since my health went to hell the less-energy-requiring aspects of cats started to appeal to me a bit more from a practical perspective, but I honestly love and adore both ^_^
26. How would you describe your gender/sexuality?
I don’t think I’ve ever gone down this particular rabbit hole in any detail before, I’ll give it a shot but it’s bound to be confusing because I barely get it myself ^^;
Gender-wise, I generally go with Non-binary which is more of an umbrella term. What I’ve read about Neutrois describes me really well but I have a thing against using foreign words when there is a perfectly acceptable translation available (in my experience only pretentious assholes do this), but it basically comes down to being (and wishing I looked more) gender-neutral. I experience a lot of dysphoria when being viewed/treated as a woman (hell even typing that was hard). Somehow being treated as a girl is less bad (yeah I don’t get it either).
Sexuality is even more complicated, and honestly the best explanation I have is that the patriarchy screwed me up ;_; I’m attracted to all genders, but with women only when they are objectified (messed up I know, hence the blaming-the-patriarchy bit; romantic attraction is a bit different where I can’t really tell if my attraction to certain girls is more romantic or platonic). And then there’s the part where my dysphoria screws up actually acting on sexual attraction so I’m starting to wonder if I might be somewhere on the grey-asexual spectrum (the whole in theory but not in practice thing).I’ve actually sort of rehearsed how I would answer these questions in my head a lot, in case any one ever asked, this is the best I can do I’m afraid ;_;29. Three songs that you connect with right now.
Stardust by David Maxim Micic, The World Spins Madly On by the Weepies and Do You Feel the Same by Silverchair. (This was a lot harder than it should be really, I will have periods where I very strongly connect to a new song, which I’ve had with the first two, but I haven’t had that in a while)
Thanks again for asking! I’d apologize for the long-winded answers but I think anyone reading this would be aware of that tendency of mine by now ^^;
